Mini file server from reused PC parts: a community organisation project

The problem. Old computers are binned while small groups lack storage. Who it helps. A charity or community organisation delivering it, helping households and small groups with old devices. What you start with. Older PC parts, spare drives and a free operating system. What is delivered. Parts are tested, assembled and set up as a simple shared file store, with limits written down. Your organisation leads delivery with support from the Deals Colony team. How progress is known. Parts reused and tests passed are recorded. A short summary is shared with your board or members, with names and personal details left out. Main purpose. The main purpose is access to a useful product or service, or less waste going to landfill, for the community. Honest limits. Older parts can fail, and storage is not a substitute for a backup. Any AI assisted work is disclosed and checked before it is used. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record. Deals Colony has run or described this kind of project before, under Home Circular Pilots (blog case study). Your version is a fresh trial and its results are not promised.
